We are running low of Purina Cat Chow, Purina Dog Chow, pate cat food and scoopable cat litter. If you would like to make a donation, please send to the shelter at 720 Atlantic Avenue, Franklin Pa 16323. I will post our wishlist in the comments. These three cute yellow babies were taken to the state police barracks and brought to us yesterday!

Update on Toast, the kitty found in Franklin and taken to Precious Paws. She is doing some better. She responds to people she knows and she is purring and making biscuits. Dr Rainy has taken her home for the holidays. Her one eye has ruptured and needs to come out if we can get her healthy enough for surgery. She still isn’t eating well on her own but Dr Rainy thinks it might be because of the severe upper respiratory she came to us with. Hoping for a Christmas Miracle for Toast!

Last night Maybeline went to see the Christmas lights at the Venango County Fairgrounds. After that she enjoyed a sleepover with her 3 care attendants Madison, Veronica and Steven. She had eat n park for dinner. Watched the movie Private Eyes and stole Veronica’s cot and heated blanket. This morning she was up raiding the snack table. The staff love and spoil every dog and cat and the rescue. This may be a new Christmas tradition. A sleepover with the dog that have been at the rescue the longest.

Nick, who works at one of the surrounding businesses near the rescue, found this poor cat. He said he called a dozen places seeking help before coming to us. He believed the cat was too far gone. I rushed the cat to the vet (i was at the rescue picking up Maybelline). Low temp, eye matted shut, nose snotty, emaciated. We are working to save this kitty. This is why the Oscar Fund exists. Since the kitty was a stray, if this is your kitty, please let us know. Send up some prayers!

The AC Valley and Union school cheerleaders from 7th & 8th grade came to visit the animals at Precious Paws. Instead of a gift exchange they brought treats and supplies for the rescue. I handed out many volunteers forms and a couple adoption applications.
Thank you all for a wonderful time and gifts!

Cats and dogs that have to survive on their own are the reason we exist. I hope someday my job is eliminated and there are no more unwanted animals on the streets.
I believe the animals in rescues are the lucky ones. Father Abraham had 8 wonderful months. It may not have been in a home but it was with people that loved him and took excellent care of him.
